I showed my animation based on my sketchbook drawings of New Cross. Even though it’s really rough, I had to do it 3 times. The app on the ipad is really limited, my phone was too old to download the camera software so the ipad had to be camera and app. Hard work.

i also did an animation using the Norman Maclaren app.

Animation session 3
Well, Linda had to go home, Wolfgang was away, so Bette and I soldiered on with part 3 of the ‘easels’ animation. It was hard with just two of us – we have criticisms of what we did, but Bette did sterling work with the drawing on the easel. Sorry Bette but my copying of the files onto my memory stick of our part one didn’t work. Here is part 2.

Angel and others gave us some interesting information:

• There is a Norman McLaren app – Emma and I got very excited – I’ve  downloaded it and tried it out – see above.
• There’s a book Ipad for artists
• Maggie said that the Canadian Film Board have a very good section on animation, also see work of Leon Lye.
• Angel showed a book – the Channel 4 Factor – which discussed their prize winning animations.
